In this first episode, we explore the crimes of Yoo Young Chul, one of the most horrific serial killers in South Korea. Before his murder spree in September 2003-November 2003, Yoo was no stranger to crime. He had been previously arrested for theft, identity theft and rape.

Yoo began targeting elderly in wealthy areas of Seoul,; breaking into their houses and brutally attacking them with a sledgehammer which he customized himself. He then began luring sex workers to his apartment where he killed them and then dismembered the bodies in order to get them out of his 3rd floor apartment.
